By the way, which instance would you like to host it on?
Might as well be lemm.ee.
Actually I just remember lemmy.zip could be nice too
@[email protected] would you like to mod too?
Thanks for asking, but memes are not my thing. Though, I can add a mention to the community in [email protected] sidebar.
Alright, we'll keep you posted
I'm all about the memes, so feel free to use dbzer0
Thanks for offering! Do you know mods on your instance who would be interested in modding this community with us?
Also bear in mind that Admins also get reports and can step in to help out - dbzero has half a dozen.
Ah no I don't have anyone specific in mind. But they don't have to be from my instance anyway. Personally I find that at the start of a comm, there's not much moderation needed anyway
sure I'm down🤗
Good to know, thanks! 2 more mods to go 😄
even if we don't find additional mods at this exact moment lemmy know if you still want to create the community as I'm sure we'll find willing mods in the near future🌻
I'm on the cautious side on this one, seeing the cat vegan foot debate is still getting comments a week after, I expect the potential of reports for memes talking about such dramas to be quite high 😅
honestly that's totally fair👍
I think that's an exception. It'll mostly be beans.
Feel free to comment on [email protected] so that I can appoint you as mod
(I know you're an admin, but let's pretend)
I'm good at pretending!
I already mod too much, but someone please tell me as soon as this is a thing so I can sub and post.
We'll keep you posted!
I'd be willing to help, but I'd like to know you're logic for such a niche community needing 5 mods? I can't imagine such a community would get more traffic than, say, [email protected] and I wouldn't call that community under-moderated.
Thank you!
Better safe than sorry to be honest, it might be niche but it might have a wide audience due to the topic.
Seems like you have a feddit.uk account, so that might be where we host it.
@[email protected] would you be okay to open a feddit.uk alt to mod? Reports don't federate properly at the moment
yup can do!
thank you for the update🤗
Cool, I'll open the community tomorrow if I find some time
fair enough🤗
Here we go! [email protected]
Please comment on the first post with a feddit.uk account so I can appoint you as a mod
done
thanks for the heads up!
Memes communities tend to be very popular
Maybe, but if it's limited in scope to memes about the Fediverse, the community might not exactly be overrun. Hardly anyone in the Fediverse memes the Fediverse, and outside the Fediverse where the huge majority of memes on Lemmy come from, nobody does.
That is, if such a community exists, maybe it'll drive people to meme the Fediverse in the first place.

Indeed. There was another goad load of drama last week on Lemmy, definitely material for some memes
